Yes Ruth, I'm the same with perfume. I really prefer natural oils, just a dab or two. But I know even those can be toxic for some animals, especially (as in the case of dogs) if they lick a person's skin. The best place for them I find is on the back of the neck or in the hair.
I am not keen on many of the modern perfume scents anyway.

There are too many things we use that are toxic. Basic natural soap and perfume are much better that some strong smelling stuff that just plain smells weird. If it smells weird to us, how must it smell to a dog or a bird. Birds are very sensitive. I would be so afraid of poisoning them if I used sprays of any kind.
We should be careful what we use for the sake of our own health and we must be careful what we use for the sake of our pets health. Maybe our pets will protect us from using products that are not good for us anyhow.
